About the Artist

My name is Stephanie Rogan Calcagno and I am the sole artist at Clarity Art & Design.  Born and raised in Northern Virginia I currently reside in Long Island, New York with my husband and our American Pit Bull Terrior, Deja.  Deja, as you can see in my Pet Portrait Gallery is the inspiration for many of my paintings (and many more to come).  I have always loved to create anything and everything and the combination of animals and paint just seems to work for me.  Pet owners love their pets unconditionally and painting them honors that love even more

I have been drawing and painting since probably right after birth.  I recieved my Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts from Long Island University and within a couple years started my business, Clarity Art & Design.  During the years since I created Clarity Art & Design I have painted numerous dogs, cats and even guinea pigs.  I am also able and do paint many children, houses and landscapes, all of which are custom work.  Check out my galleries for examples.
